that he wants, and which contributes to his
enjoyment of life and his restfulness, if it
meets his want and satisfies his taste, for,
whatever he pays, he measures the outlay
solely by his desire and utterly regardless
of the question whether it is a sinking of
money or not; money is means to such
men, not an end.
But the serious part of the question is
in the influence that the protests of the
East may have upon other sections of Cali
fornia than the south. The Eastern press

California as whole, all because of fancy
prices for residence plats in the southern
section, and thus two-thirds of the State,
where investment is made, both with
view to environment, to qualification of the
tastes for rest and ease, as well as because
of productiveness of the soil, is injured.
In the central and north sections we offer
the homeseeker cheap lands of high pro-
ductiveness; climate not surpassed any
where for salubrity, and all the facilities
for adornment of grounds, qualification of
the tastes and satisfaction of the love for
the beautiful. Very true, we have not
ourselves done great deal in the large
valleys in landscape gardening, or in
adjoining home grounds and the fact is
reproach. But it has been due to condi-
lions now passing away, and to systems of
agriculture almost inseparable from the
manner in which the State was originally
settled. The large land-holdings are now
being broken up; empires of wheat fields
are giving place to small farming the in
tiuences Of cities, towns, educational insti-
buttons and all the factors of culture, are
crowding back the pioneer customs and
the frontier habits; our valley homes are
taking on the evidences of improved
tastes; public spirit has broadened and
deepened, new blood has been infused into
our communities, thought is being given
to well-living as well as money-getting,
while soil and climate relate no longer
wholly to the profit returns, but include

OPPOSING IMMIGRATION TO CALI.
FORNIA.

The Eastern press, says a San Francisco
contemporary, is now diligently engaged
in advising people to avoid California as
place for investment by homeseekers. We
have noticed the same fact recently. There
are two reasons for this opposition; first,
the East is beginning to sensibly expert
ence the loss of desirable population; and
secondly, the extrayagant prices charged
for lands in Southern California, and
which are extremely disproportionate to
the capacity of the soil to return money
reward for the investment. This cause
the Eastern press especially dwell upon.
But these papers lose sight of the fact
that investment in Southern California by
newcomers has not, in the great majority
of cases been made with view to profita-
bic moneyed return. If one of these peo-
pie selects spot for home, it seldom en-
tiers into his consideration that the invest
ment will or will not return cent per cent.
If he plants an orange tree, cultivates a
flower garden, or lines graded avenue
with shade trees, it is done to crafty the
taste, and with no other thought of profit
making upon the capital invested than is
given to the portrait he places upon his
library wall.
The clamor of the Eastern press will in
no wise affect the growth of Southern Cali
fornia. Those who seek it for the pleas
ures of beautiful surroundings and the
qualification of their tastes, will not be in.

original harmony between capital and
labor will be accomplished.
When this condition is realized, the
truth of Buckles expression will become
apparent to all workers in the land who
have been misled by the demagogues, that
the greater progress is made by the repeal
of laws attempting to regulate the rela-
lions of capital and labor, than by their
enactment.
BY such dispassionate reasoning as Sen
| ator Stanford has employed in presenting
| fundamental truths, men will be taught to
perceive that the whole operation of Gre
| ating wealth is simply that of production !.
that production is the activity (labor) of
man using natural elements to supply his
wants; that this activity is increased and
rendered less FRACTIONAL by the use of tools !;
that as these aid him his wants increase,
and with them his ability to satisfy them
and consequently his productive powers.
They will then comprehend also that be-
sides the natural element and the labor and
tools essential to production, there is need
also for organization, and that the highest
and purest form of organization is that
which best distributes the results of pro-
duction among the producers and prevents
absorption by the few of the surplus be-
yond the cost of producing. And this
organization is cooperation. Wherever it
is absent we have only employer and en-
ploye, with here and there examples of
its application in the modified profit
| sharing. But an essential element in best
and fullest production is knowledge, which
| in one sense is skill That which stimu-
lates the man to acquire most knowledge,
enlarges his capacity to enjoy and to per-
form, augments the demands of his physi-
cal and intellectual being, and at the same
time gives him the ability to crafty his
wants, tastes and desire for happiness.
Such knowledge is best acquired and most
speedily when man is wholly free
| agent, and when the rewards of his activity
are all to flow to himself These condi-
tions, as has been shown, are realized
where men are their own employers, not
! dependents upon the will or taste or di-
recting ability of another.
Cooperation, therefore, is in the highest
form self-helpfulness, and it is found in the
perfectly harmonious family, where the
| effort of each is for the other and for all
The false teachers have carried this idea
to the absurdity of communism, and the
destruction of the right of property in
natural agents. This right grows out of
the one fact that without labor applied to
| them, either of hand, or hand aided by
tool, or labor directed by the organizer of
| it and the skill of direction, no natural
agent which man can employ in produc-
ton can be of value to him or confer the
right of ownership. These thoughts, all
| Ringing upon the expressions in the inter
| view, lead on naturally to extended con-
sideratiop and to logical conclusions, which
| will suggest themselves to the intelligent
reader

PRACTICAL PENOLOGY."

A young man, recently related in a
clerical capacity to the Office of the Exec
utive of California, has brought Califor
MIA prison prominently before Eastern
thought by paper contributed to the
North american Rerieau, entitled Practical
Penology," in which he takes the expert
ment at the Folsom Prison as an example
of what can be done by discipline and a
system partly corrective and partly stimu-
lative, to reform prisoners in prison. The
Warden's system reaches mems heads and
hearts through the avenue of the stomach.
That is, he Furnishes the stomach for the
disobedience born of the head Enforced
abstinence from the things which the sense
of smell, RECALLED by waited odors from the
kitchen, tempts the stomach to demand, is
a sort of punishment that fairly wrecks a
man, and makes him as penitent and mild
as the most solicitous penologist could de-
sire-that is the theory, according to the
essayist, and it is thus far maintained by
practical trial. This treatment is supple
mented by other deprivations for contu-
macy, and by rewards of sunlight and
special appetizing food for special deserv-
ing conduct. The prisoner is stimulated
to work by food that gives him bounding
vitality, and that, he finds, falls to the lot
Of those only who do mans full share of
labor. There is also a system of
promotion, and practical lecture
application of the motto of the
institution that :" it pays to do
well" supplemental to the efforts of the
moral instructor of the prison. These
combined are giving good results and
making the stomachic system of the Fol-
som Prison much talked about. The en-
tire system, as described in the essay, was
some weeks ago described in the RECORD
UNION in an account of the manage
ment Of the Folsom Prison We are
inclined TO think that General McComb
has found the straight and narrow way to
the convicts soul, and that it lies through
his stomach. How far it will work re-
form in the man that will stick when
once he is out of prison, however, remains
to be further tested. The best thought is
that permanent reform, so far as prison
discipline can accomplish, will be easier
and more surely attained through the pa
role system, by which the State keeps the
man in view when given conditional lib
erty, and arms him against, while exposing
him to, temptation.

THAT anyone should rise up in this day
and denounce General Sheridan for carry
ing the barbarous torch of war; into the
valleys of Virginia, is amusing and pro-
vocative of no other sensation than that of
merriment. Sheridan, like all good war
riors, believes the most merciful thing the
soldier can do in war is to make it hot and
terrible, that it may be brief and conclu-
sive. Grant and Sherman both acted upon
that belief and both deserved well for
such action. General Rosser, however,
appears to think that Little Phil" was
actuated by some malice in driving the
Confederate forces to defeat in order to
preserve the union of States.

WE are disinclined to believe that one
of the Presidents Cabinet declined to meet
the Queen of the Hawaiian Kingdom, on
the ground that she is negro, and that he
cannot descend to the social level of greet
ing "colored" person. For he does not
acknowledge social equality in his personal
character by greeting anyone in his official
capacity, more especially member of a
ruling family Of nation with which we
are at peace, and with whom we treat on
the basis of governmental equality. II
would be the Secretary welcoming the
Queen, not the person filling the office. We
are therefore disinclined to believe the
story, for the Secretary is too long-headed
man. and too well-informed of his duty
to commit the blunder of projecting per-
sonal prejudices into the matter. When
the Cabinet officers accepted these ad-
visory positions they of course knew and
fully realized that it would be their duty
as representatives of our Government to
meet, according to the forms of established
ceremonial, the representatives of all other
nations; that they would be liable to
be called to fittingly receive foreign rulers,
princes and legislators. If the mistake has
been made, however, while we can under
stand the ignorant prejudices born of
human slavery, we cannot understand
